Rim question
I am looking around at some rims and i found one that i like, but it doesnt give any specs to bolt pattern etc. just that its 18 x 7.5. A few other sites kind of list it, but i still dont see enough info to know if they would work, what can i do to find out?

how bout call the website or manufacturer? that'd be my first step.
2nd step would be to post pictures so we can give you our opinions before you buy some hideous wheels like many others have done

I like them minus the rivits... otherwise they're pretty clean rims they'd look good on an alero

they're a bit too flashy for my taste..but i prefer very simple and clean wheels. the almighty question is do you like them? and if the answer is yes then go for it

I know the bolt pattern is 5 x 115, but what is the offset and can someone briefly explain what it means?

offset needs to be between 35 and 42 if im not mistaken and once again we cant answer specs on your wheels considering we are not the manufacturer. i'd say if its a 7.5" wide rim and has a bolt pattern of 5 x 115 you should find that they have the correct offset.

Maybe i worded that wrong. I don't know what the bolt pattern is for those wheels so I will still need to find out. When I said I knew the bolt pattern was 5 x 115 above, i was refering to the standard bolt pattern for our cars, and I didn't know what our offset was or what it means. So can you kind of explain what the offset is offsetting just so I can better understand what I am looking for?

i think the offset has to do with how far the hub pattern is from the center of the wheel. if it is towards the front then there is negative offset and if it is toward the bad then it is positive. not sure tho.

Can i get a few opinions of what you guys think of those rims? I know some of you seem to stay away from chrome and would rather have a racing rim or simple 5 spoke, but I like chrome and was just wondering a few honest opinions.

we can also fit a 5x114.3mm=5x4.5" and we can fit offset outside the taboo 35-42 range but people are too narrow minded to realize that......if you want some sweet rims for cheap check out GAGT.com

those are probably your style, there are also some 077s on there too..... |
